Hardware-aware NAS: Hardware accelerators for DNNs have recently become popular due to high-performance demand for multiple applications [1]}, [2]}, [3]};
they can reduce the latency and energy associated with DNN inference significantly.
The hardware performance (e.g., latency, energy, and area) of accelerators varies with DNN properties (e.g., number of layers, parameters, etc.);
therefore, hardware performance also is a crucial factor to consider during NAS.
